Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field This invention relates to a slat support structure for a vertical blind.

Prior Art In a vertical blind, a hanger rail is fixed along the upper edge of a window, and each slat is suspended from a plurality of runners that move within the hanger rail. By operating an operating string hanging from one end of the hanger rail, the slats can be pulled out and folded, and the angle of the slats can be adjusted. Vertical blinds like this are usually fixed horizontally along the top edge of the window, but if you install a vertical blind like this on a window with a vertically sloping top edge, the runners will stay tilted. Since the slats are located inside the hanger rail, in order to adjust the angle while always maintaining the slats in a vertical position, the slats must be suspended from the runners so as to be rotatable in both front and rear, right and left directions.

Purpose The purpose of this invention is to provide a slat support structure for a vertical blind in which the slats are hung from and supported by the runners so as to be rotatable back and forth and left and right.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.A vertical blind 1 to be installed in a window with an inclined upper edge has a hanger rail 2 that moves vertically along the upper edge of the window. Slats 4 are suspended and supported by runners 3 which are fixed in an inclined state and are movably supported within the hanger rail 2. A drive shaft 5 and a tilt shaft 6, which are rotatably supported at both ends of the hanger rail 2, are fitted into the runner 3, and by rotating the drive shaft 5, the runner 3 is moved along the hanger rail 2, and tilted. By rotating the shaft 6, the slat 4
The angle can be adjusted.

The drive shaft 5 and the tilt shaft 6 protrude toward the upper end of the hanger rail 2, and a drive pulley 7 and a tilt pulley 8 are fitted and fixed to the tips of the drive shaft 5 and the tilt shaft 6, respectively. An operating string 9 is hung around the belt pulley 8, and by operating the operating string 9, the angle of the slat 4 can be adjusted.

Note that this vertical blind 1 normally does not fold the slats, but only adjusts the angle of the slats 4. Therefore, the operating string is hung on the drive pulley 7 only when the blind 1 is installed on a window, and the operating string is removed from the drive pulley 7 after the slat 4 is pulled out.

In this vertical blind 1, the slats 4 are suspended from a runner 3 so as to be rotatable back and forth and left and right so that the angle of the slats 4 can be adjusted while always being held vertically. The structure of the runner 3 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The runner 3 has a hanging shaft 10 of the slat 4 protruding from the center of its lower part, and the hanging shaft 10 is formed into a flat plate shape. A locking hole 11 is provided. The hanging shaft 10 is rotated via a worm mechanism built into the runner 3 as the tilt shaft 6 rotates.

A connecting ring 12 is suspended and supported in the hooking hole 11 so as to be rotatable in the left and right directions in FIG. A hook 13 is suspended from the lower end of the connecting ring 12 by a rivet 14 in the left-right direction in FIG.
The slat 4 is suspended from the hook 13. Therefore, the slats 4 are suspended from the runners 3 so as to be rotatable in the front, rear, left and right directions.

Now, vertical blind 1 configured like this
When the operating string 9 is operated, the tilt shaft 6 is rotated via the tilt pulley 8, and the rotation of the tilt shaft 6 is transmitted to the hanging shaft 10 by a worm mechanism within the runner 3. Therefore, the angle of the slat 4 is adjusted by operating the operating string 9, and the slat 4 is suspended and supported from the suspension shaft 10 of the runner 3 so as to be rotatable back and forth and left and right, so that no matter what happens when the angle is adjusted. However, it is vertically suspended and supported from the suspension shaft 10.

Effects As detailed above, the slat support structure according to this invention is capable of adjusting the angle of the slats 4 while always keeping them vertical in the vertical blind 1 where the hanger rail 2 is installed with the hanger rail 2 tilted up and down. It has excellent effects.
